Mia Behrens is a second year student in the Social-Organizational Psychology M.A. Program. Mia started her professional career at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as a clinical research coordinator in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences working on meaning-centered research studies. With a desire to expand meaning-centered research and application, Mia began exploring ways that purpose could be found on a broader scale in the workplace. This led her to the study of organizational psychology, entering the S-OP program with a strong interest in leadership research and eager to explore the impact that good leaders can have on their employees' ability to find meaning in their work. This past year, Mia is interning at Summit Leadership Partners, a management consulting firm that focuses on leadership advisory. Outside of work, school, and OHDCC, Mia stays very active: running, biking, playing tennis, skiing - you name it, and she loves exploring all of the different food NYC has to offer.
